WEST HOLLYWOOD—On Thursday, December 14, the city of West Hollywood indicated details in a press release about end-of-year trash and recycling information.
West Hollywood’s solid waste hauler, Athens Services, will have no pickup of trash on Christmas Day, Monday, December 25, or on New Year’s Day, Monday, January 1, 2024. Services will be provided one day later than the regularly scheduled pickup day. Christmas trees are 100 percent recyclable and can be collected starting Tuesday, December 26, 2023, through Friday, January 5, 2024.
To ensure the collection of your holiday tree: remove stands, ornaments, lights and tinsel; place holiday trees at the curb; trees over six feet in length must be cut in half; trees with flocking or fire retardants are acceptable; and please do not leave the tree in a plastic bag as the bag gets caught in the chipper blades. All gift boxes, wrapping paper and other paper packaging can be recycled with regular paper and cardboard recycling.
Residents are asked to take old electronics to a collection center such as the UCLA S.A.F.E. Drop-Off Center, or may schedule an e-waste pickup with Athens Services.
